I use Astrill (as a VPN) at home but the internet here is pretty lame. I hear that there is 'hi-speed' internet in the form of optical fiber coming to Qatar very soon...anyone heard anything about it?


I like the gossip pages on bbc (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/9593971.stm)


I saw that they had TV's showing al-Jazeera sports at la cigal hotel in the shisha garden, but they dont have the commentry on. It's a pity there isn't a shisha cafe in the souk that shows the games... nothing better than having a shisha while watching the game.
